The Esoteric Meaning of Numbers - Numerology 105




Who knows FIVE?
I know FIVE.
Five are the book of the Torah



In Numerology 104 we established that the number four corresponds to the power of potential that was given to man. The hebrew letter representing the number four is the daled. The letter that represents the number five, is the heh. What is a heh? It's a daled with a little yud in the corner. what is a yud? a yud, we said was spirituality. The number five is the power to take the force of potential, the power of four, and wrap it all together to bring it back to the source, i.e. higher spirituality. If you look at perspective, what is it? four corners and then one more dot pulled back. It's the same thing. Nothing else defines this concept like the Torah. The Torah is the tool and the blueprint with which we have an understanding of how to tap into our potential and make it more spiritual.
What are the fives that we see in this world? We have five senses. There are five components to the neshama. Most glaring is our fingers. If you look closely, there are actually four fingers, and one, the thumb that points back. That is the power of five.
Our fingers and toes are both two sets of five. the luchos are two sets of five. and what is the fifth commandment on the luchos? kibud av va'em. again, looking back to spirituality recognizing that our parents are one step closer to creation and har sinai than we are, and honoring them for that reason.

I had heard that Aharon Hakohein is representative of the number five and how appropriate it is that he is the number five, being that he is the one who was the first to bring karbanos. As the Kohein Gadol, he is the perfect example of elevating the potential and making it spiritual. I have been trying to figure out though why he is the number five. Here are my thoughts....
Even though Aharon Hakohein wasn't zocheh to enter into eretz yisrael and do the avodah in the bais hamikdash, as the first kohein gadol to do the avodah, it's considered as if he did the avodos in the bais hamikdash itself. We know that on Yom Kippur in the Bais Hamikdash, the Kohein Gadol changed clothes fives times, and was tovel in the mikva before each change, so he was tovel five times, and he washed his hands and feet ten times (two sets of five). I seem to recall somewhere in the Yom Kippur davening where the Kohein Gadol is referring based on these fives.
In the ushpizins on Succos, according to many, if not most, Aharon is number five: Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, Moshe, Aharon. In addition, the Bais Hamikdash was referred to as "hod", which because of the Kohein's avodah, translates to Aharon, therefore Aharon is described as "hod" as well. Hod is the fifth sefira: chesed, gevura, tiferes, netzach, hod.
Lag Baomer, perhaps as an aside, is hod she'b'hod or maybe that too makes sense because we are commemorating the yahrtzeit of harav shimon bar yochai, who elevated the world to an incredible level of spirituality.

So what we've established so far is, one = unity, two = opposing forces, three = balance, four = potential and now five = using the potential for spirituality to return to the one. One through five is bascially the cycle of life. The rest of the numbers are based on these original five.

I hate to use a die for this, because of what it "represents", but picture this as 3-D with the middle point drawn back... it reflects the perspective concept I referred to above.

Beautiful. If you say the letter "hey" it's like a little breath of air and then the "ay" pushes it out...actualization of potential.

Hello! I realize this is sort of off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does building a well-established blog like yours require
a large amount of work? I'm brand new to running a blog but I do write in my diary every day. I'd like to start a blog
so I can easily share my personal experience and thoughts online.

Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
Appreciate it!
